%N Number of numbers in row n of the array at A243928.
%C Decree that (row 1) = (1). For n >=2, row n consists of numbers in increasing order generated as follows: x+1 for each x in row n-1 together with -2/x for each nonzero x in row n-1, where duplicates are deleted as they occur. The number of numbers in row n is A243930(n). Conjecture: every rational number occurs exactly once in the array.
%e First 7 rows of the array of rationals:
%e 1/1
%e -3/1 .. 2/1
%e -2/1 .. -3/2 .. 3/1
%e -1/1 .. -1/2 .. 3/2 ... 4/1
%e -3/4 .. 0/1 ... 1/2 ... 5/2 .. 5/1 .. 6/1
%e -6/1 .. -6/5 .. -3/5 .. 1/4 .. 7/2 .. 7/1
%e -12/1 . -5/1 .. -6/7 .. -3/7 . -1/5 . 2/5 . 5/4 . 9/2 . 8/1, so that the first 7 terms of A243930 are 1,2,3,4,6,6,9.
